2008 Plymouth State Athletic Hall of Fame

COURTNEY ALBERT ('03): A three-time yearly
scoring leader and the all-time leading scorer in Plymouth State
women's basketball history with 1,711 points, Albert was the inside
force on the successful Panther teams of early this decade.
She was the backbone on teams that registered four straight 20-win
seasons from 2000-03 and captured back-to-back ECAC Championships
in 2002 and 2003.

A 5'9" forward from Hudson, N.H. (Alvirne H.S.), Albert broke on to
the scene as a freshman, earning the Little East Conference Rookie
of the Year honor in 2000. She went on to lead the team in
scoring three times, and was named First Team All-LEC, First Team
All-New England and Honorable Mention All-America as a junior and a
senior. She also was honored for her work in the classroom,
being selected to the 2003 Verizon Academic All-District I First
Team in the College Division.

Albert helped the Panthers to an 84-33 record in her four years,
including a program-best 23-8 mark as a senior. She led the
team to the ECAC New England Tournament berths all four years,
capping her final two seasons with victories in the ECAC
championship game.

DAN GILMORE ('74): One of only eight men's
soccer coaches in NCAA History to win at least 500 games, Gilmore
has become a legend in the college soccer coaching community.
He has led Rowan University to the NCAA Tournament 24 times,
including a streak of 14 straight from 1990-2003, and is a
nine-time New Jersey Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.

Gilmore has led Rowan for 33 years, entering this season with a
502-134-46 career record for a sparkling .770 winning
percentage. He has guided the Profs to 12 NJAC
championships. Gilmore's teams won NCAA national titles in
1981 and 1990, finished second in 1979 and 2000, and third in 1980,
1985, and 1998.

A former four-year starter and team captain in 1973 for the PSC
men's soccer team, Gilmore earned All-New England honors and still
ranks in the top 10 on the program's all-time list for goals (25),
assists (20) and points (70).

JIM MARTOCCHIO ('01): The all-time leading goal
scorer in Plymouth State men's lacrosse history, Martocchio
obliterated the Panther scoring record book. Only one other
player in school history has ever scored 50 goals in a season, and
Martocchio did it all four years, including an amazing 86 goals and
100 points his junior year.

A native of Simsbury, Conn., Martocchio became a fixture as a
freshman, breaking the 27-year-old school record with a 53-goal
season. He came back to break his own record with 57 goals as a
sophomore before the monster junior year and a solid 56 goals as a
senior. His career total of 252 goals is 76 more than any other
player in the program's history. He also set the single-game
scoring mark in 2000 with 11 goals, including the game-winner, in a
14-13 overtime win over Saint Michael's.

Martocchio led the Panthers to the post-season all four years under
three different coaches, participating in the Pilgrim League
play-offs three times and the ECAC Tournament his senior year. He
helped the team to 11 wins in 1998, second-most in school history.

JENN PELLETIER ('03): The second all-time
leading scorer in Plymouth State women's basketball history with
1,278 points, Pelletier goes down as one of the top all-around
players to ever wear the Panther uniform. She was the
all-star point guard on PSC teams that registered four straight
20-win seasons from 2000-03 and captured back-to-back ECAC
Championships in 2002 and 2003.

A 5'4" guard from Derry, N.H. (Pinkerton Academy), Pelletier took
over as starting point guard as a freshman and never looked back.
While averaging double figures in scoring her last three years, she
set Plymouth State career records for assists, steals, three-point
field goals and games played, and was a three-time All-Little East
Conference selection. She was an All-Northeast Region choice as a
senior, when she set the single-season school record for assists.

Pelletier helped the Panthers to an 84-33 record in her four years,
including a program-best 23-8 mark as a senior. She led the
team to the ECAC New England Tournament berths all four years,
capping her final two seasons with victories in the ECAC
championship game.

JACKIE STEELE DRISCOLL ('87): One of
the top student-athletes of her era, Steele Driscoll was an
outstanding athlete and leader at Plymouth State. She earned
the distinction of being named co-captain of three different
varsity teams at PSC, field hockey, swimming & diving, and
lacrosse, and was named PSC's Female Athlete of the Year in 1987.

A native of Manchester, N.H. (West High School), Steele Driscoll
was a four-year veteran swimmer and part of the implementation of
swimming and diving at Plymouth State in the mid-1980s, serving as
team captain in 1986-87. A breaststroker and freestyler, she
set three pool records and four school records and twice qualified
for the New England Championships. She also served as co-captain of
the field hockey team, helping the Panthers to the playoffs every
season, and was also a co-captain and three-year veteran on defense
for the lacrosse team, helping the team to the ECAC Tournament in
1985.

Steele was very dedicated to Plymouth State, helping out as team
manager for the wrestling team and serving as assistant lacrosse
coach in 1987.

RICHIE THIBODEAU ('73): After transferring from
the junior college ranks, Thibideau went on to become one of the
top scorers in the history of the Plymouth State men's basketball
program. The flashy lefthander played only two years in a Panther
uniform, in an era with no three-point field goals, and still
finished his career with 810 points and finished in the top 10 in
career scoring at Plymouth State.

A native of Salem, Mass. (Salem High School), Thibodeau led the
Panthers in scoring in his first season in 1970-71, averaging 23.4
points a game with a wide variety of shots. He averaged 22.8 points
the following season to again lead the team, and his career scoring
average of 23.1 points per game still stands as the Plymouth State
record.

Known as a complete team player, Thibodeau played under Coach
Dayton Spaulding and went on to be an assistant coach under
Spaulding. He also played professionally in Spain for one year
following his graduation.
